my new year's resolution

ask me what my new year's resolution is and i will tell you, very seriously, that it is--not to be late. It's stressful being late, it's probably not a very good habit to have, and i think there will be dire consequences if i'm always late. sigh. i've been late for many things this new year--because classes all begin very early this semester, and so does work on sundays. I care more about being punctual for work, since when i was late, the staff and students all looked rather unhappy and hostile--i hope it was my imagination--and i had a rather sad day because i kept reproaching myself. Ah! well.

and to tie in with my new year's resolution, let me present to you, The Persistence of Memory by Salvatore Dali (1931). I came across it in an art history class which I am currently taking. The class is wonderful, absolutely exciting and I know I'm going to enjoy it, even though we've only had one class thus far, haha. It was a really expensive module (911 points!) but I'm really willing to go all out for what I'm interested in! haha. Anyway, I love this painting because it captures the mutability of time in such a refreshing, beautiful way.
